Donations

[jdawg03]

Guys,

Need to push a donation drive again. How can we do it? What incentives can we offer? Part of me says that we should wipe all the donation avatars out and start all over, but that could upset people. Any ideas

[WOSgrad]

Can we offer some sort of "level" of membership, depending on how often or how much they have donated?

What would they get with each level?

Recognition.

We have some banned members that would love to be back on this site.

What if they make a donation of $500 to the site in return for access? What do you guys think of that?


(I really don't expect any of them to do this, but we can say we offered) ;D

Not a bad idea, pay to play.  But if (or probably when) we ban them again, do we have to refund their money? ;D

No refunds!!

Also, some will have to donate more than others. ;) ;D

Maybe throw in a "shut down of rival site" stipulation. ;D
